Stories about life; past, and present

My Life Goals

Over my lifetime there have been certain qualities that have been instilled into my heart, mind and soul. My parents, my experiences in church, school, with friends, and everything that touched my life gave me a longing for these qualities.

So years ago I wrote this poem about my life’s goals. I was fortunate enough to have loving parents, grandparents and relatives, which gave me a great foundation on which to form my personality, morals, ethics and goals. I am so thankful that I had/have a loving family and a God who loves me and leads me. Without these factors, I don’t know how my life would have been.

I want to make this world a better place even if where I am is my small area of influence. So here are some of my goals to lead me so I can effectively make a difference.
